Hazing

The University of Massachusetts Boston (UMB) in compliance with
the Massachusetts State Law, Chapter 269 Sections, 17, 18, 19 and the Board
of Higher Education, prohibits any form of humiliation or
hazing. The policy in effect protects the students and
employees of UMB. Hazing is outlined in the Massachusetts
General Law. Consent shall not be an excuse or defense to any
form of hazing. In addition, whoever knows that another
person is the victim of hazing and is at the scene of such a crime,
shall, without danger or peril to self or others, report such a
crime to an appropriate law enforcement official or to the Vice
Chancellor for Student Affairs or designee, as soon as
possible.
